Fantasy Premier League managers were given an unexpected shock as Andrew Robertson (£6.4m) was benched for the first time this season.

Jurgen Klopp named Alberto Moreno (£4.2m) in the left-back position for Liverpool’s Gameweek 10 clash with Cardiff City.

There was relief in other areas of the squad though as Mohamed Salah (£12.9m), Sadio Mané (£9.7m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) were all reunited in the starting line-up.

Glenn Murray (£6.6m) kept his place in the Brighton line-up to face Wolves despite going off with a serious-looking head injury in Gameweek 9.

Their opponents made a change for the first time in a league fixture this season with Adama Traoré (£5.5m) coming in for Diogo Jota (£6.0m).

Another week, another defensive change for Fulham. Sergio Rico (£4.4m) comes in for Marcus Bettinelli (£4.4m) in goal. Bournemouth come to Craven Cottage with Josh King (£6.4m) not in the matchday squad following the ankle problem he picked up over the international break.

Despite being available after suspension, José Holebas (£4.8m) and Christian Kabasele (£4.5m) have not gone back into the Watford starting XI.

BRIGHTON XI: Ryan; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Jahanbakhsh, Stephens, Kayal, Izquierdo; March; Murray

WOLVES XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Hélder Costa, Traoré; Jiménez

FULHAM XI: Rico, Le Marchand, Fosu-Mensah, Ream, Odoi, Seri, McDonald, Schurrle, R. Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Kamara

BOURNEMOUTH XI: Begovic, Francis, S. Cook, Ake, Smith, Lerma, L. Cook, Daniels, Fraser, Brooks, Wilson

LIVERPOOL XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Moreno, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Salah, Firmino

CARDIFF XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Murphy, Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Hoilett; Reid; Paterson

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Bertrand, Stephens, Hoedt, Romeu, Lemina, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Ings, Austin

NEWCASTLE XI: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Fernandez, Yedlin, Ritchie, Shelvey, Diame, Kenedy, Perez, Muto

    I brought King for Southampton and Fulham matches, with a plan to switch to Arnautovic.. In hindisght, I should have bought Wilson. But, what happened to Arnautovic today?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        MUN & ARS at home really aren't that bad for potential attacking returns.

  12. Sif
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure what people are expecting from Mitro, Jimenez etc
    They are enables for Premium mids who return every 2-3 weeks.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro's a little pricier, but yep pretty much.

      • Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro hasn't for a few weeks (and 1.5 more than Jimenez). Admittedly - my knee is twitching. MF of Rich / Haz / KDB / Salah / Maddison for me next week.

    2. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wildcard - Salah, Wilson, Kiko in - bang, bang, bang points galore!

      6. Perthite
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Loved the points today... Fraser, Wilson, Salah, Mane, Foster.

        Rare day.

        1. Perthite
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          ... even allowing for Mitovic, Robertson & Doherty!

      7. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Fraser-Wilson double up is so much fun!

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          It is. However will be in future? Fixtures stiffen

        2. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          As a Mitro, Zaha and Arnie owner, Wilson is killing me.

      8. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Worst game week I can remember, no Holebas no Robertson Knockaert subbed on and gets a yellow, Arnie no show. Huge red incoming lol

      9. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mane and Salah joint on 3BP for now

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I would imagine Mané will get 3

      10. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mat Ryan is a legend

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yep.
          Best transfer I ever made DDG to Ryan three weeks ago.

      11. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Was looking at doing Maddison > Salah, but didn’t. Need at least a goal from him to avoid rage transfer.

      12. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Score check. 67 with Mendy, Alonso, Hazard, Richarlison and Aguero to play 😀

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Nicely done, think I’ll be mid 50s with 5 to play

        2. TAT
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          WOW! Liverpool, Watford and Bournemouth coverage much? 😀

        3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

          • 9 Years

      13. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        What to do with ings?

        Looking for A striker up to 5.7m to play every week until I wildcard.

        Thoughts on bobby reid? 5.2m with Leicester and Brighton home next

      14. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Subtle brag alert 🙂

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Hah! Nice getting more points of the bench, other than the usual one or two.

      15. b91jh
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No salah and mane....
        But at least i've got wilson

      16. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro to who?

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Keep for one more

      17. Srv210
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        What's up with gray & deeney..why is success starting ??

        Kiki femenia or masina can be good cheapo if they keeps starting

        Also would you still keep Salah or swap to mane & distribute funds to get Mendy & lacazette

      18. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Arna injured ????

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He's had a dodgy knee for weeks maybe it's that

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He’s ill

        3. davies
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          ill

      19. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        So, Maddison on penalties now that Vardy is out. A penalty scored by Maddy can save my gameweek a bit

      20. WDT
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Let's just say I need large things from Harry Maguire...

        Arnautovic, Robertson , Hazard fail.

        Big 3 points from Patricio & Mitro so far!

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Hazard definitely out?

        2. 4-4-who?
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Went Bellerin and Kiko instead on Maguire and AWB. Result.

      21. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Finally getting some points from Foster feels good.
